"Breaking onto the scene in 2011 with a series of hand‐stamped white label 12-inches, anonymous duo Dense & Pika re‐emerge for their debut on Scuba's Hotflush Recordings. Crispy Duck, their 3‐track take on modern underground techno, kicks off with a chugging A side, giving serious nods to Detroit and beyond with it's deadly shuffle. On the flip, Dense and Pika claim the dancefloor with 'Coil' a tripped out up‐tempo techno track, abound with hi‐hats and fist-‐‐pumps, followed by '31', a rough and ready tune that melds 4/4 with acid and dub grooves."

"Premiered by Jackmaster on the BBC Radio1 show, 'Hardbody' has quickly become the subject of fraught anticipation. A natural successor to 'Talk Torque' and the latest evolution of his recent output, 'Hardbody' is a characteristically well-sculpted piece of dance music. Exploring a deeper house sound, the track's lush synthwork, glacial arpeggios, and soft female vocals are led by propulsive percussion and throbbing low-end."

2012 repress, originally released in 2008. Decamping to Germany had a profound affect on Paul Rose aka Scuba. Running the prolific Hotflush and Scuba labels with a little help from Alex Incyde and a truly legendary international roster, this north London original has taken his imprint and sound undeniably global. Yet, while he has yet to adopt lederhosen and start making Euro trance, the techno/minimal core of Berlin has clearly opened up new possibilities for him. This album (in every sense -- the track segue continuously together) is an opulent yet serious digression from any standard dubstep template, and all the more brilliant for it. The expansion of classic Scuba industrial crunch and groove means his soundscapes have moved, with great fluidity, into further areas of electronica and techno embellishments, creating an album that ebbs and flows seductively, drawing the listener into its magnetic power. Complete and assured, A Mutual Antipathy is dubstep alternative; the perfect balance between Burial's rusty emo-garage and Benga's full-throttle techno.

2012 repress, originally released in 2010. 3x12" version. Scuba aka Paul Rose has been at the forefront of the dubstep scene since its birth. Having founded the innovative and influential Hotflush Recordings label in 2003, he has continually brought color and depth to an advancing genre, expanding its sonic structure and increasing its influence on the wider electronic scene. Triangulation moves past the dubstep/techno axis and into new territory. Working at multiple tempos, the album covers an area ranging from house to experimental drum n' bass while retaining the Scuba sound that has become so distinctive.

London DJ and producer James Shaw aka Sigha confidently returns to the label with his heavily-anticipated debut LP, Living With Ghosts. For this offering, he presents 12 impressive techno and ambient productions and fuses his love of classic UK techno with the contemporary sound that currently pulses through Berlin's Berghain. Since his 2009 debut on the label, Sigha has organically shifted further and further into the straight 4/4 realm of techno, embracing the subterranean, darker soundscapes of his new production home base, Berlin. However, hiding under all that bass, one can still hear the whisper of many long-forgotten shoegaze numbers: My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, and Slowdive, some of Sigha's heaviest influences, vibrate throughout. Years of playing guitar in London bands defined Sigha's musical start and gave him an ear for the emotive. He was able to merge both worlds after quite literally stumbling across techno by chance, igniting his love of electronic music. Ever since, he's expertly navigated the halls of UK garage and dub, releasing on Hotflush, Blueprint, and his own fledgling imprint, Our Circular Sound.

After a two-year break, Detroit producer Jimmy Edgar debuts on Scuba's Hotflush Recordings armed with an album full of futuristic sleaze. Known for his unique take on jacking house and electro funk, recently he's been splitting his time between the U.S. and Berlin, exploring transcendental meditation and the boundaries of the non-physical. This offering is an extension of that journey, bringing 11 tracks of erotic robo-pop to the table. Titled Majenta, this LP is a departure from his past sound, marking a shift in his own ever-expanding consciousness, as well as another exciting chapter of his musical career. Each track is an aural manifesto, giving well-deserved nods to his varied musical influences. Close encounters with Detroit legends Derrick May and Juan Atkins, Jimmy's 2004 signing to Warp Records, and his early exposure to Kraftwerk have all acted as lynchpins in the cultivation of his sound. With a number of releases on Glasstable, Semantica, Nonplus, and album releases on both Warp and !K7, Majenta reflects Jimmy's evolution as both artist and child of the cosmos.

"Debut EP Forever For Now from 20 year-old duo Shelter Point. Through the use of field recordings, upright pianos, their own chopped and screwed vocals, and a varied palette of synths, the pair have created a lush and elegant four track love letter that's bound to make their contemporaries stand up and take note."

"Where he once used dubstep as the foundation for his distinctive productions, this time he's taking prog house, trance, big beat, rave, old techno, and synth pop, and packaging it up in something stylishly retro, all coated in a futuristic 2012 sheen... one of the gutsiest, risky things a pillar of the scene like Scuba could have done." --Pitchfork (8.1)
